UNSPSC 25191714: Brake drum lathe

A special lathe for vehicle maintenance that rotates and processes the brake drum from the lathe for revising the partial abrasion of the brake drum from the friction when the vehicle is stopped or decelerated during running.

UNSPSC 25191714 Brake drum lathe is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal volume and a mismatch between the nominal scope and actual recent solicitations. The one substantive recent opportunity—the University of Texas at Austin's ITB for a CNC lathe—involves precision machine tooling with a 3-jaw scroll chuck and electronic handwheels for X and Z axis control, work that aligns more broadly with general CNC equipment procurement than with brake drum resurfacing equipment specifically. State and local buyers have posted few opportunities under this code in the recent window; the issuing body on record is a higher-education research entity (Applied Research Labs at UT Austin) rather than the typical transportation, fleet-maintenance, or vocational-training agencies that would drive demand for brake drum lathes. This suggests either light actual procurement under the code or systematic miscoding in opportunity tagging.

The University of Texas at Austin ITB 721-27031, posted October 16, 2026 with a response date of October 30, 2026, is the primary recent activity, with place of performance in Austin, Texas (Travis County). Geographic spread is confined to Texas in the available record. Practitioners should verify whether opportunities in this space are accurately tagged to 25191714 or whether brake drum lathe and general CNC equipment work are being routed to different codes in state and local systems. No other jurisdictions or representative opportunities supporting the brake drum lathe scope appear in the recent posting window.
